Building AI business processes

I'm Alexey Gorodishenin — an executive with 20 years of experience transforming businesses: 320+ digitalization and automation projects, teams of up to 30 specialists, international markets. I help companies move from an impressive AI pilot to a process that delivers measurable results every day.

About

Processes and people are the foundation.
AI is the accelerator.

For twenty years I've been doing the same thing at different scales: taking a process that runs slowly, expensively, or chaotically, and rebuilding it so the result can be measured. The tools have changed — CRM, automation, robotics, and now generative AI and agentic systems. The foundation hasn't: process and people first, technology second.

I founded and spent 18 years running Alego.Digital: 320+ digitalization projects, teams of up to 30 specialists, annual revenue up to $10M, projects for companies at the level of STADA and BP. A separate layer of expertise is internet marketing: I built automated marketing management systems and ran client portfolios with advertising budgets of up to $5M a month — today that experience converts directly into AI marketing: analytics, segmentation, content, and campaign management on agentic tools. I brought industrial robotics to the Chinese market on projects involving Haier and Hisense, and structured technology deals for an investment fund. Since 2023 I've been building AI solutions hands-on, every day: LLM-based assistants, RAG systems on corporate documents, agentic workflows, AI-assisted application development — from scenario selection through team rollout and responsible-use rules.

My strength is a combination rarely found in one person: adaptability to new markets, cultures, and technologies; a current technology stack I use myself, not one I've only seen in slide decks; and a foundational university education that taught me to work with complex systems — technical and human.

Expertise

Four areas where I deliver results

AI assistants and knowledge management

LLM-based assistants and RAG solutions on corporate documents: structured knowledge bases, prompt engineering, systematic testing, and answer-quality control. Company knowledge stops living in people's heads and folders — it starts answering questions.

Agentic process automation

Redesigning processes where AI is the core, not an add-on: document processing, data extraction, reporting, repetitive decisions. System integration via APIs into end-to-end processes, with human oversight where the cost of error is high.

AI-assisted application development

Working applications and prototypes built with AI tools (including Claude Code): business logic, databases, integrations, interfaces. Focus areas: LegalTech, documents, knowledge.

Rollout and AI governance

Selecting scenarios by impact and effort, ROI assessment, team training, responsible-AI-use policies — including EU AI Act requirements.

How I work

AI is a tool.
The foundation is processes and teams.

Only the speed at which the right way of organizing work starts paying off changes.

01 · DIAGNOSIS

A map of the process and the points where AI will deliver a measurable effect.

02 · DESIGN

A target process and a practical strategy built for the business's needs, not for the trend.

03 · ROLLOUT

From prototype to tools the team uses every day.

04 · SCALE

Metrics, durability, replication to adjacent processes.

Golden lines: from chaos into ordered structure
Reform the process first — automate second. Do it in the reverse order and you automate the chaos.
Values

What I stand on

People and cultures

Transformation is always work with people, and I know how to lead it in teams where different nationalities, religious traditions, and generations meet — from specialists who started out with paper procedures to those who grew up with a neural network in their pocket. I’ve built such teams across four markets, and I know that respect for the other person’s culture isn’t a "soft skill" — it’s the condition under which change actually takes hold.

Principles

I stand for peace, not war; for solidarity, not confrontation; for respect for human rights. To me these aren't declarations but working sustainability principles (ESG) built into management: responsible use of AI, honest relationships with the team and partners, respect for the society the business operates in. I understand how this approach works economically: sustainable practices reduce regulatory and reputational risk, open access to capital and markets — and directly support the growth of a company's valuation.
